Physiological principles
• Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM)A pathologic state resulting from a relative or
absolute deficiency of protein and energy• The Hypermetabolic StateAn increase in energy demands that
accompanies any significant physiologic and/or psychological insult
![Page 5: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

• The Catabolic State A progressive loss of lean body mass in
response to any significant insult, physiological or psychological
• Body Composition: The Importance of Lean Body Mass and Fat Mass
• Total Body Weight = Lean Body Mass* + Fat Mass

Anthropometric Measurements
• Anthropometry is the measurement of body size , weight , and proportions
• Anthropometry measures can be used to evaluate nutritional status .
• Anthropometry also is considered the method of choice for estimation body composition in a clinical setting .
![Page 15: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Height
• Procedure• The client
stands erect with feet flat on the floor and slightly apart, legs and back.
![Page 16: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Weight
• Procedure• On the same scale
each time.• At the same time of
day, preferably before breakfast.
• With the same amount of clothing on each time and without shoes. Record the weight immediately
![Page 17: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Interpretation
• BMI = weight (kg) height ² (m)² • BMI from 18.5 to 25
![Page 18: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Body Mass Index (BMI) = Wt (kg) Ht (m2)

Interpretation
• Compare measurements to previous MAC to identify any change.
• Measurements less than 90% of reference standard may indicate the need for nutritional support.
![Page 23: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC):
• MAMC (cm) = MAC (cm) − [3.14 × TSF (cm)]
Arm muscle area (AMA)• AMA (cm2) for females = {[MAC- ( x
TSF)] 2 / 4} – 6.5.• AMA (cm2) for males = {[MAC- ( x
TSF)] 2 / 4} – 10.
![Page 35: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Laboratory data
• Evaluation of protein level• There are 2 types of protein 1- Somatic protein which found is
skeletal muscle . 2- Visceral protein found in viscera of
body (liver , kidney , pancreas , heart) red blood cell & white blood cell.
![Page 36: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Nitrogen Balance Studies• It is a very important parameter of protein
synthesis & metabolism.• Nitrogen balance = [protein intake (in
grams)] / 6.25 – [24-hour (in grams) urinary urea nitrogen (UUN) + 4]
• If it equals zero nitrogen balance is present.• If it equals a + ve number protein synthesis is
occurring• If it equals a –ve number protein catabolism.

Other tests
• Hemoglobin level iron — contain pigment in red blood cell.
• Hematocric packed red cell volume.• W.B.C&R.B. C.• Fluids & electrolytes level in body .
![Page 40: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Determining nutritional requirement• The BMR is the amount of energy
expended at complete rest, shortly after awakening and in a fasting state for 12 to 18 hours. The BMR depends on age, sex, and body size and correlates roughly with body surface area. It is proportional to lean body mass, not to fat. The metabolic rate increases 20% after elective surgery and 110% after a severe burn.
![Page 41: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Resting energy expenditure REE, which is often used synonymously with BMR, represents the amount of energy expended 2 hours after a meal under conditions of rest and thermal neutrality. It is generally 10% higher than the BMR.
![Page 42: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• The energy requirements can be calculated as:
• Total energy expenditure = BMR x stress factor x activity factor.
• Estimation of energy requirements at rest (basal energy expenditure, BEE) is most often using the equation of Haris.
![Page 43: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Basal energy expenditureBEE : Men66.47 + (13.75 weight in kg) + (5.0
height in cm) – (6.76 age in yr.)BEE: Women655.10 + (9.56 x weight in kg) + (1.7 x
height in cm) – (4.68 age in yr.)
![Page 44: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Stress factorsLow stress: 1.3 BEEModerate stress: 1.5 BEESevere stress: 2.0 BEECancer: 1.6 BEE
![Page 45: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Activity factorsIntubated patients = 1.0 to 1.1 Patients confined to bed = 1.2Patients out of bed = 1.3
![Page 46: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Indirect Calorimetry• Indirect calorimetry is a technique that
measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production to calculate resting energy expenditure and respiratory quotient (RQ). One liter of oxygen consumed generates 3.9 kcal (16.32 kJ); 1 L of carbon dioxide produced generates 1.1 kcal (4.60 kJ).
![Page 47: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• Indirect calorimetry allows the precise measurement of the daily caloric expenditure.
• Use of a stress factor to account for injury is not necessary because the measured energy expenditure accounts for the effects of disease state, stress, and trauma.
![Page 48: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• Because the measurement occurs at rest, it is necessary to multiply by an “activity” factor of 1.0 to 1.3, depending on whether the patient is intubated, at bed rest, or ambulatory.
• In addition, indirect calorimetric data provide, via the RQ (RQ = carbon dioxide production / oxygen consumption).
![Page 49: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• The RQ can be useful in altering a patient’s nutritional support regimen. Normal RQ ranges from 0.7 to 1.0.
• An RQ of greater than 1.0 most often indicates overfeeding
• whereas an RQ less than 0.82 is often associated with underfeeding .

• To provide sufficient energy to spare protein• To prevent patient moving from an early stage
of malnourishment to a severe stage.• To optimize management from the nutritional
point to aim for the best outcome• To prevent PEM, and micronutrients
deficiencies
![Page 54: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

What should we feed critically ill patients?
• Exactly what we should be feeding for optimum recovery remains less clear.
• Enteral nutrition with supplemental arginine, glutamine and omega-3 fatty acid instead of standard enteral diet improved immunological, metabolic and clinical outcomes
• Micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) should be considered
![Page 56: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
What route?
Enteral nutrition is the route of choice Promote immunocompetence of the gut Overgrowth of gut bacteria Translocation of gut bacteria
![Page 57: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

How w • can we estimate the amount of feeding we should give?
![Page 75: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
REE (kcal/d) = 8 x body weight + 14 x height + 32 x minute ventilation + 94 x body temperature - 4834
REE can be measured by indirect calorimetery using metabolic monitor
Harris-Benedict was designed to estimate BEE in healthy, unstressed adults, but more closely
estimates REE
![Page 76: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
ICU patients rarely have much physical activity.
Chemical neuromuscular paralysis & Heavy sedation decreases energy expenditure by as much as 30%.
Total energy expenditure “TEE”= REE x Stress Factor x Activity Factor

Enteral Nutrition
• Tube Feeding• Definition: • Tube feeding is the delivery of a liquid feeding
formula directly to the stomach using a feeding tube that is made of silicon, rubber or polyurethane.
• It has a small diameter, and more flexible, so decrease oropharyngeal irritation, distal esophageal irritation, and discomfort from swallowing.
![Page 82: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
• Purposes: The nurse initiates enteral tube feedings to:1. Administer nutrients to achieve calculated
nutri tional requirements.2. Administer nutrients to achieve the
recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamins and minerals.
3. Administer tree water for fluid balance
![Page 83: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Indications:• 1-Inability to ingest adequate nutrients
orally• 2-Inability to maintain adequate caloric
needs• 3-For patients with a disturbed level of
consciousness
![Page 84: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Contraindications to enteral nutrition
• Absolute contraindications:• Diffuse peritonitis • Intestinal obstruction that prohibits use of the bowel• Intestinal perforation• Paralytic ileus• Severe diarrhea that makes metabolic management
difficult• Relative contraindications:• Severe pancreatitis• Enterocutaneous fistula• Gastrointestinal ischemeia• Severe malabsorption
![Page 85: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Methods of delivering formula through feeding tube
Bolus feedings• Bolus feedings are given by a large syringe in volume
as high as 400ml over 5-10 minutes, 5-6 times a day. • The stomach is the preferred site for administration.• It allow patient mobility between feedings because
his freedom from mechanical devices.• Bolus feedings are not well tolerated as a result of
high residuals, so nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea, or aspiration are often accompanied.
![Page 86: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
• Intermittent feedings
• Intermittent feedings are administered as 300-400 ml by a slow gravity drip 4-6 times a day over a period of 30-60 minutes.
• The preferable site is the stomach. • Intermittent feedings are associated with
decrease the risk for osmotic diarrhea.
![Page 87: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Continuous feedings• Continuous feedings are used when the tip of the tube
in the duodenum ,or jejunum ,and are administered over 24 hrs with the aid of a feeding pump to ensure a constant flow rate.
• Continuous pump feedings are the preferred method for intestinal feeding because too rapid delivery may lead to (dumping syndrome) which is characterized by characterized by osmotic diarrhea, abdominal distention, cramp, hyperperstalesis, lightheadness, diaphoresis, and palpitations.
• Continuous feedings can decrease the risk of aspiration , and allow more time for nutrients to be absorbed.
![Page 88: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
• Cyclic feedings • Cyclic feedings are continuous feedings that
deliver the total daily nutritional requirements in a shorter time frame over 8-12 hrs to allow patient freedom from 24 hrs continuous feedings.
• Cyclic feeding of high density & high volume are given at night to allow hunger to develop during the day.
![Page 89: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Route Advantages Disadvantages
NasogastricShort term (less than 6 weeks) with functional GIT
Stomach is normal reservoir for food.Presence of hydrochloric acid in stomach helps destroy microorganism possibly reduce infection. Intermittent feeding into stomach are better tolerated than those into small intestine.
Not as appropriate for patients on long term tube feeding.Contraindicated for patients with history of aspiration pneumonia and those at high risk for aspiration. Some tubing materials are uncomfortable.
![Page 90: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Route Advantages Disadvantages
Naso duodenalShort term with functional GIT may be used post operatively following gastric surgery.
May carry less risk for aspiration.May allow feeding after gastric surgery
Not desirable for long term tube feeding.Contraindicated for Patients with history of aspiration pneumonia and those at risk for aspiration. Difficult to place and maintain in the small intestine.Some tubing materials are uncomfortable.
![Page 91: Andalosia nutrition](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55567280d8b42abc5a8b4e03/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Route Advantages Disadvantages
GastrostomyFor long-term tube feeding into the stomach for patient with alterations in swallowing secondary to neurologic disease or brain injury.
Same as nasogastric but more comfortable. Can not be misplaced into trachea.Easier to confirm tube placement. Usually inserted under anesthesia.
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is contraindicated for patient’s with peritonitis, ascites, esophageal obstruction or severe gastroesophageal reflux.General anesthesia may be contraindicated.Possible aspiration risk for patient’s with gastric reflux or those who are weak and debilitated.Risk of skin break down around tube if the site is not properly cared for.Tube dislodgment before tract is mature may lead to peritonitis.

How to give Medication via N.G.T correctly?
Medications are a frequent cause of tube blockage. To minimize the problem, follow these guidelines:-• Administer the drug’s liquid formulation when ever possible.• Dilute the drug adequately before giving it. Viscous solution
increases the risk for clogging.• If the drug is available only as a tablet or capsule, ask the
pharmacist whether if it can be rushed or can be opened. Never crush or open enteric coated medications.
• Flush the tube with warm not hot water before and after giving the medication.
• If you are giving more than one medication, do not mix them together flush the tube with 5 - l0 ml of water between medications.
• Do not mix the medication with the formula.
